Additionally, Section 18 of the Public Service Act 1999 and the Australian Public Service (APS) Commissioner's Directions 2013 require all agencies to establish workplace diversity programs to assist in giving effect to the APS Employment Principles.
Australian Government targets and APS-wide initiatives, for people with disability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, also inform employment strategies contained in the ABS WDAP 2013-17.
An APS target of 2.7 per cent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation by 2015 has been set by the Australian Government, in support of the Council of Australian Government (COAG) National Partnership on Indigenous Economic Participation. The APS Employment and Capability Strategy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Employees has been considered in developing this WDAP. This will help inform Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander recruitment and retention initiatives.
The APS has responded to the COAG National Disability Strategy, which has a key policy objective of improving the workforce participation of people with disability, by releasing the As One Strategy (May 2012) to support the employment of people with disability in the APS. The As One Strategy has been also been considered in developing this WDAP.
Advice and direction from the Australian Government's Diversity Council on diversity issues, including the recommendations from the current 'job readiness' and 'retention' projects for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people with disability, will be considered in the evaluation of the ABS WDAP 2013-17 and in the development of future Plans.
Our role as a statistical service provider is also governed by the Australian Government's Access and Equity Strategy and the National Disability Strategy framework. This is to ensure that our statistical products, services and data collection processes are accessible to people with disability and people of diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds in our community.
The ABS Enterprise Agreement 2011-2014 states that "Consistent with the APS Values, the ABS is committed to the principles of fairness, equity and diversity in employment. All ABS employees have a responsibility to uphold and demonstrate these principles in the conduct of their day to day work." The ABS Interviewers Enterprise Agreement 2011-2014 states that "the ABS is committed to the principles of fairness, equity and diversity in employment." These commitments are supported through the ABS Workplace Diversity Action Plan 2013-2017 which details actions designed to support and encourage a diverse workforce.
A successful WDAP has benefits for individuals, teams and the organisation overall. These benefits include:
The ABS WDAP 2013-2017 was developed in consultation with ABS staff including, employees with disability, carers of people with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees, senior management and directors accountable for actions, local employee consultative forums and the Community and Public Sector Union.
Consideration of APS diversity initiatives and targets and strong feedback during consultations resulted in the inclusion of some targets (e.g. the Commonwealth target of 2.7 per cent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation) that may be difficult to achieve in the current tight financial environment, when recruitment levels are expected to be very low.
Progress on the deliverables of the ABS WDAP 2013-2017 will be regularly reviewed and reported on annually. They will be modified where necessary to ensure actions and targets remain relevant over the life of the Plan.
The ABS Workplace Diversity overarching strategies for 2013-2017 are:
Strategy 1: Strengthen a respectful and inclusive work environment and culture
Strategy 2: Improve our ability to attract, recruit and retain people of diverse backgrounds and targeted under-represented diversity groups*
Strategy 3: Improve our understanding of workplace diversity issues and increase the analysis and utilisation of workplace diversity metrics
Strategy 4: As a statistical services provider, ensure accessible services, products and data collection practices are provided for people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds

R&B star Rihanna is hard at work on a second fashion collection for British clothing store River Island, despite attracting scathing reviews for her debut line earlier this year (13).
The Umbrella hitmaker's skimpy creations were widely panned by critics after she unveiled her range during London Fashion Week in February (12), but that hasn't stopped the singer from teaming up with River Island bosses again to come up with a new set of items for the upcoming autumn/winter (13) season.
She reunited with her design partner Adam Selman over the weekend (27Apr13) to finalize their latest pieces and Rihanna shared a photo of the pals on Instagram.com.
In the accompanying caption, she wrote, "Me and my better half @adamselman in design mode!! We went to WERK (work) on the upcoming RihannaForRIVERISLAND Autumn and Winter collections! No really, we took it there! Like it's not fair that you could get this kinda s**t at RIHverIsland (sic)!"
Rihanna's first fashion collection, which featured belly-baring tops, sheer dresses and high-slit skirts, was released in March (13).

Talk:Project 2.6 mips
the mips patch for 2.4 can not work.
First: The patch can't applied because the parameter -r is used and not -ruN which produces an useable patch format for patch. Second: This patch doesn't contain the new files which are in the ls-sources, but not in the vanilla sources
Exist an useable patch which can be applied to the current 2.4 kernel?
Prodigy7 16:51, 5 September 2006 (EDT)
i c. it was the second time ever that i created some diffs. how exactly should i execute the diff command? assume that i have the full vanilla kernel sources in folder1 and the ls-kernel-sources in folder2.
Mindbender 07:35, 6 September 2006 (EDT)
I think, the diff patch doesn't make sense for the newest kernel version, because the most stuff can't applied. I'd tried to create an full patch make an actual 2.4 kernel useable with ls2 but I was confronted with some problems: For example if use the parameter -ruN, all differences are acquired - inclusive the new improved x64 part of kernel 2.4. Means: I you use simple the parameter -ruN, the patch removes many files which are exists in the current vanilla but not in the 2.4.20 ls2 sources. I don't know, which files are required ... so I chose an other way: First i made an diff with -ru. The result was an diff which contains all differences but not the files, which maybe exist in the ls2 sources but not in the current vanilla kernel version. Next I create a list with files which are exists in the ls2 sources but not in the vanilla sources. So I get an patch with an size of 38MB which contains all mips differences. I applied this patch but the most messages was error messages because the diffs can't applied.
I think also, currently no patch can be created which mades the current vanilla ls2 ready. An way could be, "hopping" from kernel version to kernel version (apply the patch to the next release after 2.4.20 ... create from this an patch ... go to the next version ...). So the inexactness (which mades it impossible, apply the diffs) could maybe balanced so we get an applicable patch.
I uploaded the full patch on http://download.prodigy7.de/files/patches/nas/ls2/kernel/2.4.20/ls2mips-kernel.patch.bz2 . Maybe some one other can create an useable patch with it.

Editorial Reviews
On one level, The Devotion of Suspect X channels the vogue for offbeat psychological thrillers: a cerebral criminal, a physicist who moonlights as detective, lengthy mathematical discursions, all framed by a prose style that is as cool as a blade's surface. But behind this is an essentially conventional tale of obsessive love and loneliness, and it's this which drives the narrative onwards the quasi-intellectual trappings don't quite mesh with the narrative to make an organic whole. Even a significant twist towards the end doesn't fundamentally alter how we perceive the preceding events. Columbo-like, we know the identity of the guilty party from the start: the pleasure of the story is in seeing if and how they deal with their consciences and the police investigation.
The excellent David Pittu works hard at extracting every nuance, shade, and layer from the serviceable text. He seems to be able to anticipate the listener's own imaginative perception just where you'd imagine a tremor in the voice, or something spoken through gritted teeth, or with a sigh, he delivers just that, and right on time. It's uncanny. Where he comes up short is his performance of Yasuko, the single mother victimized by her ex-husband. Pittu portrays her with a tongue-tied gentleness, all downcast eyes and suppressed sighs; this sorrowful passivity in such a central character grates, becoming a reductive reminder of her victim status. But its author Higashino who must take the blame for this; Yasuko is a former nightclub hostess, which opens up all kinds of character possibilities and tensions that just aren't present here. Her relationship with her teen daughter is vitally important to the plot, but the daughter herself gets short shrift until a dramatic development only serves to underscore her absence from the book's main narrative.
Another cipher is Dr. Yukawa, the physicist who is called in to offer gnomish words of wisdom in some kind of consultancy capacity. He's the star of a series of books published in Japan, and it's a testament to the underlying efficiency and dramatic pull of the core story here that, despite the limited ambitions of this particular outing, listeners will certainly want to hear more from this potentially gripping franchise.

Publisher's Summary
Yasuko Hanaoka is a divorced, single mother who thought she had finally escaped her abusive ex-husband Togashi. When he shows up one day to extort money from her, threatening both her and her teenaged daughter Misato, the situation quickly escalates into violence and Togashi ends up dead on her apartment floor. Overhearing the commotion, Yasuko's next door neighbor, middle-aged high school mathematics teacher Ishigami, offers his help, disposing not only of the body but plotting the cover-up step-by-step. When the body turns up and is identified, Detective Kusanagi draws the case and Yasuko comes under suspicion. Kusanagi is unable to find any obvious holes in Yasuko's manufactured alibi and yet is still sure that there's something wrong. Kusanagi brings in Dr. Manabu Yukawa, a physicist and college friend who frequently consults with the police. Yukawa, known to the police by the nickname Professor Galileo, went to college with Ishigami. After meeting up with him again, Yukawa is convinced that Ishigami had something to do with the murder. What ensues is a high level battle of wits, as Ishigami tries to protect Yasuko by outmaneuvering and outthinking Yukawa, who faces his most clever and determined opponent yet.

Devoted tale of kindness and unknown friendship.
There is an old saying about a friend will help you move, but a real friend will help you move a body. This is an above average story exploring the latter. A lonely math nerd comes to the aid of a single mother and her teenage daughter. The story pulls you along, forcing you to compete with the characters as they practice their deception or those seeking the truth. I spent the first few chapters (if not half the story) trying to decide which character was my hero only to conclude each had their own integrity, values and redeeming qualities. This is not your typical crime mystery - it's so much more. I greatly enjoyed it and hope you do too.

not really like Larsson -- but that's OK
This seemed to me more akin to PD James ---more a psychological why-dunnit and how-dunnit than a who-dunnit, more about the character and plot than action, but (at least in translation) the novel does not have James' tight prose. It's about the personal more than the political, even if the central event does highlight domestic abuse. Glimpses of Japanese society add interest. Happily it's not another cookie cutter ???edge of seat??? violent thriller. Neither is the psychology too dark. I found the narration good but not outstanding.
It's an original mystery for fans of global gumshoes (and this time the shoe is on the other foot). Well worth a listen.

P vs. NP (In the library with a candlestick)
In a Tokyo apartment, a man lies dead at the hands of his ex-wife and step daughter. Their neighbor, an introverted mathematician and virtual stranger, offers to help hide their involvement in the death. He then orchestrates an intricate cover-up to safeguard the child and her mother.
As the Tokyo police begin a murder investigation, a brilliant physicist - who has consulted for the police in previous cases – is brought into the mix. When the physicist learns that the neighbor of the suspect is, in fact, his old college friend, his interest is piqued. He begins to investigate independently.
And so we reach the central players of our chess game; two brilliant old friends, the mathematician, and the physicist. One believes he has created the perfect puzzle – the other is determined to solve it. Pitted against each other in this classic game of cat and mouse, both men struggle to fulfill their perceived "duties", despite the feelings of friendship and respect they both feel for the other.
The Devotion of Suspect X is a rare jewel of the mystery genre; one often sought, but rarely found. It's a mystery crafted out of many character's points of view, and even more layers of reality. If you want answers, you'll have to wait until the end; because like all great mysteries, the truth waits until the final unveiling.
For this particular selection, I have to thank fellow reader Howard (a great member to follow for fantastic reviews) for bringing this novel to my attention.

Any additional comments?
Intellectually and emotionally, the story works at the highest levels. I felt stunned and moved by the final scene. I hope to see more from this author on audible. Preferably with the same reader.

I was transported!
A friend recently told me she considers a movie "award worthy" when it transport her from one place to another, not only in revealing life in a different location, but also "transporting" her to a different view point. This book did both! It is set in modern day Japan, which was a revealation! Call me naive, but I didn't imagine Japan had a homeless problem... Don't stop reading! This book is not a commentary on homelessnes, or any kind of social issue. It is a great murder mystery, but you know who the murderer is from the very beginning. Twists and turns that caught me by surprise. The only thing I didn't like was the ending, but the fact that I didn't like the ending is probably a commentary on my morals...

Can the Human Heart Be Pragmatic?
If Rene Descartes wrote a modern-day murder mystery it would probably read something like this. But, while Descartes had a lifetime to prove his mathematic and philosophical theories, time is ticking down for brilliant mathematician Suspect X...and there are some variables he cannot guarantee.
For me, this one fell into the category of *Pleasant Surprises*. It languished in my library while I read and listened to books that were supposed to be blockbusters. In hindsight, it would have been a better use of time than listening to that big "first novel for adults" from a famous author. Devotion of Suspect X is a well-written, original concept that defies even the best of the armchair gumshoes' abilities; it demands your interest, then keeps your mind spinning for days after you've finished. Not only does it leave you trying to re-trace some of the events, look for what you missed, it also leaves you pondering the capacity of human nature and determination--*quantifying and qualifying*.
"Sometimes a person just needs to exist to be someone's personal savior."
The narrator read each character in the same manner; being unfamiliar with Japanese names (or ignorance of), I was pulled a little out of the story at times determining which character was speaking until I got with the flow. Nothing I would fault the author or narrator with--just a note to pay attention closely if you have a tendancy to listen only halfway (sometimes) while you multi-task. This is one of those stories that picks up speed, then really picks up speed. If it were a movie, it would build to an unsuspected climax -- and the screen would abruptly go black. Powerful and surprising.

Sad ending.
I can understand why this won an award in Japan. The story is very much of that culture. I enjoyed it tremendously, even though the ending was not a happy one. Very character driven, this story is engrossing.

Wonderful mystery, wonderfully told
It's disappointing to find so many current mysteries end up not being mysterious at all but rather some deranged serial/psycho killer. This brilliant little piece is original and thoughtful. The dialogue is pitch perfect, the characters, believable. More like this please!

Fun read
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Narration was good, and the story was interesting, with some quirky characters and a good plot. I wouldn't call it "fast paced", but it is perfectly paced for the story and it's running themes. I like crime-fiction and this was different enough to be a pleasant find in a crowded genre.

The best book I have ever had read to me!
I have been an Audible.com member for a couple of months and have about 10 books under my belt. Including the trilogy by Larsson, some Vince Flynn, James Patterson, and few other motivational titles. This one was by far my favorite and kept me entertained thoroughly.

Ultimately disappointed
What did you like best about The Devotion of Suspect X? What did you like least?
This was an excellent story which I thoroughly enjoyed up until the point of the confession. It could have ended so much better than it did and I wish the author would rewrite the ending.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece has raised a further €937.5 million ($1.2 billion) from new bids for treasury bills issued this week, bringing the total to just under €5 billion — enough to avoid bankruptcy on Friday, when it has to make a debt repayment.
To afford the repayment, Greece auctioned four-week and 13-week bills on Tuesday and continued to accept bids until Thursday.
It was essential for the debt-ridden country to raise the €5 billion this week as its next bailout rescue loan from other eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund is not expected until the end of the month.
Without the money raised this week, Greece would have faced bankruptcy on Friday, the day on which treasury bills it issued in August will mature.

In the world of fashion, hair goes in and out of style just as much as clothes do. And while never really going out of style, braids have enjoyed a resurgence, popping up everywhere from the runways in New York to the red carpets of Hollywood to the sidewalks of King Street.
"Braids are definitely having a moment," says Leah Nichols, admissions leader and Design Team leader at Paul Mitchell The School Charleston. "They've been around for a long time, but in the past few years they have become a style."
From simple to elaborate, braids have long been popular among African-American women, but the style has spread to women of all races, ethnic backgrounds and hair types.
"Braids never get old. They can be incorporated in several different styles: boho, formal, high fashion, etc. I feel that braids add that attention to detail which can transform a boring look into something much more interesting and creative. Who doesn't want that?" asks Bailey Bial, a stylist at Allure Salon on King Street and a member of the Charleston Fashion Week hair and makeup team.
"I get simple requests from my everyday clients, like a new mom who wants to keep her hair out of her face but also look pretty. But primarily, braids are for special events such as weddings or parties," Bial adds. "Ladies like braids for special events because they're different and add immediate visual interest."
The options seem endless: fishtail-braided buns, bohemian updos incorporated with small braids, waterfall braids and more.
So what's coming in 2014?
Nichols says braids are turning more relaxed, more unstructured, even on the bridal scene. And watch for a big braid presence during the upcoming prom season.
Paul Mitchell clients coming in for wedding and other event styling are bringing more photos of updos that blend looser braids into more formal styles, Nichols says. "They want braids incorporated into their updos."
And from weddings to the beach, stylist Nicole Spencer, owner of Brush Beauty Lounge in Summerville, says she sees the trend sticking around.
"I think it will continue just because here it is something really easy to do when you've been out at the beach where a lot of people let their hair dry naturally but it's something to get it out of the way," Spencer says. "I don't see it going away completely because it's just so versatile."
For instance, one client celebrated a recent anniversary with a loose updo with a couple of braids twisted in.
And after a hair cut, another client asked Spencer to braid her hair so she could wear it out running around town afterward.
"She just wanted something extra in there," Spencer says.
For many women, braids add an extra element of interest and creativity to traditional hairstyles.
"Everybody wants to do this natural soft look for their events, and so a braid looks like something they could do themselves. It's something extra, but it looks like, 'Did they get their hair done?'" Spencer says.
The African-American community also is seeing the trend evolve, moving more toward locs, a natural braid alternative without the use of weaves or extensions.
According to Lisa Burks, a "Loc Restorer" and cosmetology instructor specializing in natural hair care, African-American men and women choose locs because they create versatility with style and length, keeping the hair naturally protected and chemical-free. It's also a way to stay in touch with their cultural roots, she adds.
"It preserves natural hair and creates length, and it allows the women and the men to reconnect with their ethnic heritage," Burks says. "... It's no longer a fad; it's a way of life."
In addition, Burks says, locs create a more professional image. She's noticed that they are more common since many jobs require a more polished look.
"No one wants to walk around looking like a Rasta, only because it's not accepted in the workplace," she says.
And as local stylists don't see the braiding trend waning, you're sure to see pop-up "braid bars" at more and more events, which likely will lead to seeing even more braids incorporated into event and everyday styles.
Ever since the Paul Mitchell The School Charleston took its Braid and Bun Bar to the recent SHE Charleston expo and to the Dirty Girl Mud Run, the staff has been fielding calls from other event organizers requesting the same.
Next up, the school will take its braid bar to Cinderella Day, a March 1 event that works to ensure all teen girls are outfitted and styled for their proms regardless of financial status.
Bial said she's even toyed with the idea of focusing on braids, offering a quick, 5-minute-or-less braided style at farmers markets, parties and other places.
"I just had a client this morning from New York who also spends time in L.A. talking to me about braid bars in the city and how much she loved them," Bial says.
She adds, "Braids will always be in the market and be requested as long as they can continue to be transformed in different ways. Braids are a beautiful addition to any style and that will never go away."
As for the folks who are looking to venture into the braiding trend themselves, Spencer encourages a little daring.
"The big thing is just playing with it. Don't be intimidated by it," she says. "The waterfall braid or fishtail braid can look very intimidating but it's just getting in there and playing with it. It just gives you a lot of options."
Sites including Pinterest and Youtube are full of ideas and tutorials that anyone can test out at home risk-free.
"You go on Pinterest and scroll through and you can see how-to's all day long," Spencer says.

The program, which will be held in Ebenezer Baptist Church Horizon Sanctuary, will also include presentations from people of every race and diverse faiths.

MARS HILL, N.C. – Sophomore Bonnie Durrett recorded her first double-double of her career with the Lady Tornado in King's 63-42 road victory over the Mars Hill Lions, Tuesday night. Allison Bosse helped spoil the Lions home opener with a team-high 13 points while Durrett had 12 points and 13 rebounds.
As was the case in their previous game against Pfeiffer, King jumped out in front early on the Mars Hill Lions starting the game on a 16-4 run. The Lady Tornado caused eight turnovers during that run, contributing to the 22 total MHC turnovers forced during the game.
King held an advantage of 10 points or better for the entire first half until the final 15 seconds of the period when Candace Wilmoth hit a pair of free throws to trim the King lead to eight going into the locker room, 28-20. Thirteen of King's 28 first-half points were off of turnovers by the Lions.
Armeka Booker started the second half with a layup to cut deeper into the King lead, 28-22, but the Lady Tornado scored the next seven points to reacquire their double digit lead. Bonnie Durrett hit one of her two three pointers to extend King's lead to 11, 35-24, with 16:45 remaining in the game. Freshman Stephanie Brantley helped maintain that double-digit advantage with a three of her own at the 15-minute mark to increase the lead to 38-26.
Mars Hill shot 0-for-11 from three-point range in the second half, contributing to King's stronghold on the lead late in the game. They shot only 31 percent from the field during the second half but still managed to keep within striking distance of King.
With 6:41 remaining in the game, Armeka Booker laid in an easy two-point basket to draw within six of the Lady Tornado, 46-40. It was the last time Mars Hill would contest for the victory as King went on a 16-3 run to close out the game powered by four points from Kelly Jackson and Allison Bosse.
King largest lead of the game was 19 points, held with 1:22 remaining in the contest after Brantley hit another open jumper which also served as the last basket of the game.
The rebounding advantage went to King as they out boarded the Lions 51 to 36. Twenty-four of King's 51 rebounds were on the offensive end, resulting in 19 second chance points.
Three King players ended the night with 10 or more points, led by senior Allison Bosse. The Knoxville, Tenn. native led the team with 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field while hitting 5-of-6 free throw attempts and adding four rebounds to her line.
Sophomore transfer Bonnie Durrett (West Paducah, Ky./Jefferson College) recorded her first double-double of her young career with King, posting 12 points and 13 rebounds in the victory. She shot 4-for-12 from the field while hitting a pair of three pointers and free throws.
Junior Kelly Jackson (Lynchburg, Va./Elon) contributed 10 points and six rebounds. She shared the team lead in assists (3) with sophomore guard Chelsea Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn./ETSU). Brooke Johnson (Roan Mountain, Tenn.) added nine points on 4-of-7 shooting from the point.
Mars Hill forward Armeka Booker led the Lions in scoring with 12 points on 6-of-12 shooting, all inside three-point range. Kelsey Espinosa led MHC with seven rebounds.
King (2-1, 1-0) will close out its ongoing three-game road trip with a conference matchup against Mount Olive on Nov. 27. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.m. The Lady Tornado will bring their game back to the Student Center Complex when they kick off a basketball doubleheader against Queens (N.C.), beginning at 5:30 p.m.

RAW: High winds, dry conditions, make caution with campfires this weekend critical
Fire management officials from the Inyo National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management Bishop Field Office are asking visitors to be extremely careful with campfires over the Memorial Day Weekend.
Due to the extremely dry winter, above-normal temperatures and frequent strong winds here in the Eastern Sierra, vegetation is much drier and fire danger is much higher than normal for this time of year.
Campfires can and do start wildfires, so please observe the following precautions:
· Get a campfire permit from a local ranger station or visitor center.
· Don't have a campfire on windy days.
· Never leave your campfire unattended.
· Drown (with water) and stir your campfire before leaving.
"Dry weather, gusty winds and low humidity levels are all that is needed for a spark to ignite dry grass. I am urging visitors to be vigilant while enjoying our public lands this holiday weekend," said Tim Dunfee, Deputy Fire Chief for the BLM.
For further information please contact Debra Hein, interagency fire mitigation specialist, at (760) 872-5057.

Fair board wraps up 2013
The Auglaize County Fair Board met Monday night to wrap up meetings for 2013 and hear several different committee reports. Members heard reports on updated electrical service throughout the campgrounds.
"The in-ground service has been put in and now we are finishing up the boxes and so forth," Fair Secretary Fred Piehl said. "We are getting a jump on it now rather than waiting for spring."
There are other ongoing electrical upgrades going on throughout the fairgrounds as well. The board also heard reports on contracts signed with talent and entertainment for the 2014 Auglaize County Fair.
"We signed contracts for the Earthquakers," Piehl said. "We get a lot of requests for them and they will be back for this coming fair on the Friday night."
Another local favorite, Barnyard Express educational farm animal display, will also be back for 2014.
"We haven't had them for a couple years," Piehl said. "We get a lot of requests for them, too."
For more information, see the Thursday, Dec. 12 edition of the Wapakoneta Daily News.

Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk have struggled in past Ryder Cups, despite sterling records elsewhere.
MEDINAH, Ill. — No other trio of American golfers has qualified for more consecutive Ryder Cup teams than Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk. Collectively, they have won 146 official tournaments around the world, including 19 majors.
That only makes their Ryder Cup record look all the more inferior.
They have been the core of the U.S. team since 1997 at Valderrama, where they combined for a 3-6-1 record as the United States lost the cup. Perhaps it was a sign of what was to come. For all their individual achievement, none has a winning record in the Ryder Cup. They have been on six teams together — Woods missed in 2008 at Valhalla while recovering from knee surgery — and the only celebration they shared was that remarkable comeback at Brookline.
"I would have expected and definitely wished for a much better record than that," Furyk said Tuesday.
It leads to a question that brings to mind the chicken and the egg.
Do they all have losing records because they are playing on losing teams? Or does the U.S keep losing because this triumvirate has losing records?
"I think it's both," Woods said Tuesday. "In order to win cups, you have to earn points. And we certainly have not earned points. And on top of that, Phil, Jim and myself have been put out there a lot during those years. So if we're not earning points, it's hard to win Ryder Cups that way."
So much has been expected. So little has been delivered. And they are running out of time to leave a lasting impression.
Furyk is 42 and has gone four of the last five PGA Tour seasons without winning, though the exception was in 2010 when he won three times and was voted player of the year. Even so, he had to rely on being a captain's pick for the first time. Mickelson, also 42, has qualified for nine straight teams dating to 1995. He will set an American record for most Ryder Cups when the matches began Friday. Even so, he narrowly qualified for the team this year.
They will be leaned on heavily again at Medinah as the U.S. tries to win back the cup.
U.S. captain Davis Love III finally showed his hand — and confirmed some obvious pairings in mind — by sending out Woods and Steve Stricker, Mickelson and Keegan Bradley, Watson and Webb Simpson.
Other pairings were Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson, Jason Dufner and Zach Johnson, and Furyk and Brandt Snedeker.
European captain Jose Maria Olazabal had Ian Poulter, Justin Rose, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood in one group; Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell, Sergio Garcia and Paul Lawrie in another; and Mark Kaymer, Nicolas Colsaerts, Francesco Molinari and Peter Hanson in a third.
Furyk referred to McIlroy as a "marked man" last week, and not many could argue.
The 23-year-old from Northern Ireland already is a two-time major champion, with both wins by eight shots.
He has established himself as No. 1 in the world without debate, and has won three of his last six tournaments against the strongest fields in the world.
For so many years, Woods was that guy on the U.S. team, and that's why his record gets so much attention.
"I kind of liken it to playing premiership football, the biggest teams, the Manchester Uniteds, the Liverpools, the Chelseas, the Arsenals," McDowell said. "Any lesser team that comes to play these guys, they have a tendency to raise their game because it's a huge game for an underdog to play a Tiger Woods. And they get up for it. They are not expected to win. When expectation levels drop, game tends to improve. I think a guy who plays Tiger Woods, or a player of that caliber, he doesn't expect to win, so he lets it all go and he plays out of his skin and gets the upset."
Woods, despite his 86 wins and 14 majors, has never had a winning record in the Ryder Cup.
He has combined to go 6-3-0 in his last two events to raise his career record to 13-14-2. Even at the height of his game, Europe would say that he could only win five points out of the 28 points up for grabs.
Woods never came close to that, which helps explain why Europe has won six of the seven Ryder Cups in which he played.
Mickelson began his Ryder Cup career in 1995 at Oak Hill, where he went 3-0 and privately burned that he wasn't used more often. That turned out to be the most points Mickelson contributed in a week.
Their contributions are so noticeable that Mickelson and Furyk are tied for losing the most fourball matches (eight) among American players.

Luxury tailor brand Spencer Hart is to use the Samsung Galaxy Note in its suit fittings for the rich and famous. Offering both bespoke and off-the-peg tailoring in a variety of London locations, including Savile Row and a flagship boutique in Brook Street, it has supplied suits to P Diddy, Ant and Dec, Robbie Williams, Alex Turner and Dermot O'Leary, and will be adopting the 5.3-inch Android device in its "Vault" - a secret measuring and pampering zone for celebrities.
To illustrate how it will be used, Pocket-lint was invited to see the Galaxy Note in action in Brook Street, Mayfair as the tailor's director of retail Joe Woolfe demonstrated the versatility of the device and custom made software with the aid of movie star Rufus Sewell (Dark City, The Holiday, The Legend of Zorro).
The Note will be used to mark down exact measurements during the fitting process in the bowels of the Brook Street store. Plus, the tailor can mark on a visual representation of the suit or jacket whether there should be any extra details around the cuffs, or other alterations. The end result will be sent immediately to the Savile Row base where the item will be made. As Nick Hart, founder of Spencer Hart told us, "it eliminates any mistakes that could happen previously."
Hart himself also took us on a tour of the Vault, which was previously a bank vault, hence the name; the original lockable steel door even remains. And, while we may never get the chance to savour its actual delights - with Hart saying that it's really a place for people "with more money than God" - just spending ten minutes surrounded by vintage 1940s/50s watches, imagery of the Rat Pack and old school Blue Note jazz symbolism, and Oliver Goldsmith bespoke sunglasses gave us a great, if fleeting, glimpse at what it's like to be an international superstar. Or James Cordon.
The Samsung Galaxy Note is even included amongst the other myriad of übercool items. And it fits, it must be said.
It is in use now at Spencer Hart's Brook Street store. Fittings are by appointment only.
Check out more at www.spencerhart.com.

Military group salutes district for service to Guard, Reserve members
PUNXSUTAWNEY — A Punxsutawney school board member and administrator recently learned that while public education business and issues may be challenges, that's also the case for those who work, raise families and serve their countries in the National Guard or Reserve.
Monday, Del Spafford, northwest area Ombudsman for the Pennsylvania Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), recognized board member Penny Pifer and PAMS Principal Richard Britten for taking part in a program in May called Boss Lift, which helps civilian employers and supervisors see first-hand how employees in the National Guard and Reserve work and train as citizen soldiers.
In Pennsylvania, Boss Lift is held at Fort Indiantown Gap, Annville.
Established in 1972, the ESGR is a Department of Defense organization that promotes cooperation and understanding between Guard and Reserve members and their civilian employers and assists in the resolution of conflicts arising from an employee's military commitment.
At Boss Lift, Pifer and Britten took part in a number of activities and simulations, such as touring facilities; looking at armored vehicles, heavy equipment and more; both flight and tank simulators; and computer-simulated operations in which they were part of a force performing patrol in a Middle Eastern-type town — complete with teams fighting back against enemy fire.
Britten said the technology used in today's military is astounding, from helicopters communicating with units on the ground and in the air, to the precision of an Apache helicopter locked onto a target that has nowhere to run.
Board President Gary Conrad, who has also taken part in the Boss Lift program, said about the simulators, "I can tell you, you crash in the helicopter simulators."
Both Pifer and Britten also said the experience gave them a greater appreciation for America's civilian soldiers.
"It made me feel like I don't do much for the world," Pifer said.
Spafford, himself retired from a 34-year military career, said part of his volunteer duty with ESGR is to talk to groups and employers that hire Guard and Reserve members.
There are certain laws that employers must abide by when a Guard or Reserve employee is called to duty:
• Employers must grant leave to Guard and Reserve employees for military activation.
• Employers must promptly reemploy Guard and Reserve employees upon satisfactory completion of military service.
• Guard and Reserve employees may not be required to use personal leave or vacation for military service.
Spafford said the Guard or Reserve employee departing his or her job for military service must be afford the rights of what's called an "escalator clause:" That if the person is required to leave for military service, he or she must have the same position or level for promotion as when he or she left.
He said Guard or Reserve members never know when they could be called in the middle of the night for military service — it could be three months, six months, or even 18 months.
"It's so important that we get a good relationship with businesses and the military," Spafford said.
He said he ends his presentations by showing groups a picture of his grandchildren, for whom he said he has been "working for 76 years."
"For these troops, their jobs guarantee that kids will grow up in a free country, where they are not raped or murdered. That's what happens in other countries," such as Kuwait, Spafford said.
Also Monday:
• The board opened 11 bids to sell the maintenance department's 1994 GMC truck. The highest bidder was board member Bob Pascuzzo, through his business, Bob's Sales & Service, with a bid of $6,785.
The lowest bid was $587.
The board approved Pascuzzo's bid with an 8-0 vote, with Pascuzzo abstaining.
• As he does annually — usually during the board's December reorganizational meeting — board member Jack White made a motion to televise the board's voting meetings. Board Vice-President Francis Molinaro seconded the motion.
White said in discussions with the public, people want to know what goes on and how money is spent at the meetings. Televising the meetings again via the district's cable channel is a step in that direction.
And as it does annually, the board defeated White's motion, this time with a 7-2 vote.
White and Molinaro supported the motions, with Conrad, Pascuzzo, Pifer and board members Lesa Conner, Roberta Dinsmore, Jeff Martz and Penny Pearce voting against the motion.
"I think you're cheating the public," White said after the vote.
Superintendent Dr. Keith Wolfe and Solicitor David Young were excused from the meeting.

Customers can create their own meal with a balance of vegetables, whole grains and protein, with a standard nutritional profile of 600 calories or less, 20 grams total fat or less, 5 grams saturated fat or less and 600 mg of sodium or less.
"Addressing our customers and clients' demands, whole+sum provides great flavors and customizable selections that align with the healthful requirements of today's consumers," said Deanne Brandstetter, vice president of nutrition and wellness. "The goal is energizing your body with great food that happens to be healthy."
Compass unit managers and chefs must complete a 10-module online course called Nutrition Fundamentals, which was developed by Framingham State College along with an additional whole+sum course before the program can be implemented into their operation.
The concept has already been implemented at Pace University in New York and Idaho State University in Pocatello.

Samsung Uses Centrify for Safer Android Platform
The Centrify widgetry appears first on a next-generation Android-based platform called KNOX
By: Maureen O'Gara
Feb. 26, 2013 08:45 AM
Centrify has signed its biggest contract ever.
Samsung has OEM'd Centrify's Active Directory-based security and cloud identity technology intending to put the widgetry on millions of its notoriously insecure Android-based smartphones and tablets to out BlackBerry.
BlackBerry is generally acknowledged to have the most secure mobile devices and, having made its bones in the consumer space, where it's now far and away the leader, Samsung is out to woo the enterprise customer helped along by the problems besetting BlackBerry and spooking its users.
A story in the Wall Street Journal Friday figured Samsung saw BlackBerry as a "wounded animal" with market share ripe for the plucking despite the new BlackBerry 10 operating system about to hit the US next month in a touchscreen phone that's being widely evaluated by security-conscious enterprises and government agencies. BlackBerry also has a new phone with a real keyboard beloved by multitudes.
The Centrify widgetry appears first on a next-generation Android-based platform called KNOX that Samsung is supposed to announce on Monday. KNOX is meant to enhance security at all levels of the Android platform.
It was reportedly designed from the ground up with security in mind to address advanced security requirements for the Android platform. It retains compatibility with Android and the Google ecosystem while engineering fundamental security and management enhancements.
Centrify, which has been working for six-eight months with Samsung on the technology under the deal, wouldn't say how much it will make off the arrangement, which plays to the current enterprise BYOD and cloud craze.
It's delivering an integrated SaaS solution that provides mobile application management and "Zero Sign-on" for devices owned by either the user or the organization.
The Centrify technology Samsung is embedding into its platform will also be generally available as part of Centrify's latest cloud services release, Centrify for Mobile 2013, due to be announced Monday and publicly demonstrated for the first time at a show this week.
It's supposed to make it easier for the organization to get the control and security they need, and for the employee to get the privacy and productivity they want.
Samsung is making a big investment in "corporatizing" its devices including quietly hiring a fresh crop of technology experts and lobbyists, executives from rival firms like RIM and salespeople with suits and polished shoes. It's also funding small security houses with interesting friends and tweaking its ad campaign to address the enterprise.
Centrify is the first palpable sign of this switch in direction. Its security integrates with the containerization Samsung has added as an extension to Android.
The widgetry will let users virtualize and split the device between personal use and company use so if the user leaves the organization his personal pictures and applications will be left intact after the company wipes its data off the widget by deleting its container.
The containers will be managed by Active Directory under a license from Centrify.
The separate environment for enterprise apps includes FIPS-certified security and enhanced multi-layer security. Data reportedly won't leak between containers. Pin numbers will unlock the container. IT can apply group-policy based management. And users can connect securely to SharePoint and their other apps. They gain true multi-application zero sign-on. Amusingly, Microsoft's newfangled ARM-based Surface RT tablet can't join Active Directory.
Centrify and Samsung also expect an enterprise app ecosystem to develop around Single Sign-on (SSO) with developers integrating their mobile applications using an SDK to deliver SSO.
The Centrify and Samsung partnership includes re-sale of Centrify premium mobile and SaaS Single Sign-on offerings via Samsung partners as well as joint marketing to Samsung customers and partners.
Samsung has licensed Centrify's Mobile Authentication Services (MAS) SDK and imported it into the Samsung for Enterprise (SAFE) SDK Framework. Any Android app developer can use the SAFE mobile client SDK to enable Zero Sign-On from Samsung's new devices to their cloud-based applications.
This Zero Sign-On is supposed to go beyond traditional SSO for devices enrolled in the Centrify Cloud Service by allowing users a one-click sign-on to enterprise apps without having to enter a username and password.
ISVs such as Box - which is reportedly used by 92% of the Fortune 500 - and Onvelop are part of a growing list of ecosystem partners in various stages of enhancing their apps using the MAS SDK to support Zero Sign-On inside Samsung's KNOX containers.
Samsung is expected to ship multiple offerings using Centrify technology other than its Mobile Authentication Services (MAS) like MAM (Mobile Application Management), MDM (Mobile Device Management) and MCM (Mobile Container Management).
Separately, Samsung is understood to be adding encryption to its new platform for security-concerned government and corporate accounts.
Centrify CEO Tom Kemp expects to be able to upsell enterprises on protecting their non-Samsung devices such as PCs and Macs with Active Directory on the basis of consistency and the fact that it fits into their existing infrastructure. Centrify will be able to track who's using its technology because it's a SaaS solution and folks have to register to use it.

MAC Seasonally Supreme Swatches – Sneak Peek
MAC Happy Hibiscus Sheen Supreme Lipstick
MAC Seasonally Supreme Swatches – Sneak Peek
MAC Seasonally Supreme introduces more shades to the permanent range of Supreme Sheen Lipsticks ($14.50 for 0.12 oz.). The formula is designed to have "the colour impact of a lipstick with the shine sheen of a lipglass." It's described as "lightweight, non-sticky, slick to apply, and comfortable to wear." The collection debuts in full on August 4th across North America, but for now, I do have five shades to share with you. They are: Fashion City (neutral coral pink), Happy Hibiscus (creamy white pink), Korean Candy (bright orange-red), Royal Azalea (bright mid-tone pink), and Tea Ceremony (neutral pink beige).
Once I'm able to purchase the rest, I will certainly have those swatches for you. Please note, you can find photos and reviews for Bare Again, Insanely It, and Supremely Confident from the initial launch. The shades I do not have at this time are: Asian Flower, Blossom Culture, Sheer Mandarin, and Supreme Style.
- Fashion City is a darkened peach with opaque color coverage and a slightly milky appearance. It has subtle white shimmer and a glossy sheen. MAC might describe this as a pink coral, but it looked peach in the tube and when worn. It's a touch pinker than Gotta Dash!, while Chanel Delicieuse is a bit darker.
- Happy Hibiscus is an ultra-pale, pink-white with a creamy finish and opaque color. This color is extremely unflattering against my skin tone. MAC Mlle appears more lilac and darker, while MAC Playing Koi is darker and pinker. MAC Overtime is much darker and pinker. MAC Pretty Please is similar but less opaque. Supremely Confident, MAC Innocence, Beware, MAC Fleshpot, NARS Madere are less pink, more beige, but similar in lightness.
- Korean Candy is a rich orange-red (more red than orange) with a glossy shine and opaque color coverage. It is redder than Giorgio Armani #405. MAC Strut Your Stuff is a bit more orange, while OCC Stalker is similar. Urban Decay Revolution is a little darker and redder.
- Royal Azalea is a light, cotton candy pink with blue undertones and creamy, opaque color coverage. It is bluer in tone and lighter compared to Behave Yourself. It is a little paler compared to MAC All Styled Up and MAC Viva Glam Gaga. It is pinker than MAC Pink Friday. I imagine Snob will be quite close, too.
- Tea Ceremony is a darkened peach-brown with a creamy finish and opaque color coverage. Korres #36 is a little browner and darker. MAC Mocha is a little pinker and darker, but it is similar.
The formula is lightweight overall, but some of the creamier shades are thicker when worn (think Happy Hibiscus). I get an average of three hours of wear on lighter shades and up to six hours with really rich, bold shades (think Korean Candy). The color coverage is semi-opaque to opaque. These are vanilla-scented, but I did not detect any taste.
I find the lighter shades have a tendency to settle into lip lines and the effect becomes more noticeable as they wear and fade. Some of the creamy but pale shades have a chalky look on lips, because the consistency is just not quite even. The finish of these is definitely glossier than the traditional lipstick. They are somewhat moisturizing, but after four or so hours, my lips could use more moisture. To read my original review (and more in-depth review, as well as a comparison against Slimshines), check out this post.

This tutorial is written for ArchLinux, but also useful for other operating systems.
0. To record Warzone2100's sound and listen to it at the same time, reconfigure Alsa.
Follow the tutorial at https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Capture/ALSA#Recordaudiofromanapplicationwhilealsoroutingtheaudiotoanoutputdevice and replace '<Your Output Device Name>' with the simple name of your card, e.g. 'Intel' or its number (typically '0') for ~/.asoundrc as suggested there. If unsure, check the output of `arecord -L`.
1. OpenAL does not default to Alsa. To change that, run `mkdir /etc/openal; echo drivers=alsa > alsoft.conf`.
2. When recording, mind the tradeoff between encoding quality and speed. Either framerate or bitrate should be given.
I chose 40fps with lossless encoding and a free container format:
`ffmpeg -video_size 1280x800 -framerate 40 -f x11grab -i $DISPLAY -f alsa -ac 2 -ar 44100 -i loopout -c:a flac -c:v libx264 -qp 0 -preset ultrafast game.mkv`
3. The process may be killed with 'SIGINT' or 'SIGTERM', e.g. when runinng `ffmpeg [...] & sleep 30; warzone2100 --debug=all`.
4. You can also limit the size of your output file, e.g. with `-fs 500M game.mkv`.
5. Trim and split the video as needed. To remove the first 30s and last 15s in a video of 25 minutes, run:
`ffmpeg -i game.mkv -ss 30 -to 24:45 -vcodec libx264 -qp 0 -acodec flac ingame.mkv`
Reencode! Do not copy input streams with `-c copy` or the equivalent `-acodec copy -vcodec copy` since this corrupts the output file.
6. Codec compression is useful for lossless codecs. I saved ~30% filesize with:
`ffmpeg -i game.mkv -vcodec libx264 -qp 0 -preset veryslow -acodec flac -compression_level 12 game_upload.mkv`
7. Consider process imaging to safeguard against power outage if FFmpeg takes a long time, e.g. with dmtcp or cryopid.
8. Check your files, e.g. with `ffprobe -hide_banner game.mkv`.
9. Extract frames and store them as images.
Take a screenshot in the middle of the 30th second 800px large:
`ffmpeg -i game.mkv -ss 30.5 -vframes 1 -vf scale=800:800 screenshot.png`
Create a list of thumbnails to chose from, e.g. for YouTube:
`ffmpeg -i game.mkv -vf 'select=gt(scene\,0.5)' -vsync vfr -vframes 3 thumbnail_%03d.png`
10. For further help read man pages, visit https://trac.ffmpeg.org or join Freenode's #ffmpeg channel.

Greenway panel OKs $11 million for Falls athletic fields
WHEATFIELD – The committee that holds the purse strings for Niagara River Greenway funding in Niagara County unanimously approved $11 million Tuesday for new athletic fields at Niagara Falls High School.
It also blasted a new report that criticized the way it spends the Greenway money.
The Niagara Power Coalition, comprising the communities that were directly affected by construction of the Niagara Power Project, will make a formal response next month to a report from the Partnership for the Public Good, a Buffalo-based organization that seeks to return the Greenway to its original vision of focusing on parks.
But the tenor of what that response will be was unmistakable Tuesday.
"I think they want to use this money to promote their own causes," said Steven L. Reiter, Lewiston town supervisor. "They don't get it. We're going to improve our economic-development situation, and to do that, we have to be proactive, not reactive to people like this."
The Greenway Plan, created after passage of a 2004 state law creating the program, allowed Niagara County to shift the money to any community along the Erie Canal, the Niagara Wine Trail or the Seaway Trail, as well as the river. That means every municipality in Niagara County is eligible for Greenway funding.
Last month, the Niagara River Greenway Commission voted that the Falls project was inconsistent with the goals of the Greenway, but the commission's opinions carry no legal authority.
"The plan does depart from the law in a lot of instances," said Sam Magavern, co-director of the Partnership for the Public Good.
"It's a lot easier to find something consistent [with Greenway goals] under the plan than it should be."
The source of the money is the New York Power Authority, which voted in favor of the Falls sports project both at the commission meeting March 19 and Tuesday at the session of the Host Communities Standing Committee, the panel that passes out the money.
Magavern said the law should be changed to prevent grants of Greenway money to any project the commission deems inconsistent with the original notion of creating "a linear system of parks, trails and conservation areas."
If that were the case, the Falls school district would not have been able to get the money that it was granted Tuesday.
"The decision-making process should stay with the communities that were impacted by the Power Project," said Cynthia A. Bianco, Niagara Falls school superintendent.
The athletic field project was approved by 86 percent of Falls voters Sept. 25 as part of a $66.7 million package of school improvements.
It will enable the district to have its own football and baseball fields after its lease on city-owned Sal Maglie Stadium runs out in June 2014.
A 13,000-square-foot field house, meant primarily for wrestling, three practice fields and six tennis courts also are part of the $22 million plan, half funded by Greenway money.
Magavern, an adjunct instructor at the University at Buffalo Law School, said that if his group had its way, "they can still propose projects and get them funded. They just have to be consistent with the Greenway law."
Thomas M. O'Donnell, assistant corporation counsel for the City of Niagara Falls, contended that even if the law were changed, the way the money is awarded couldn't change, because it's based on a contract between the Power Authority and the Niagara Power Coalition.
Magavern disagreed. "I don't think there's any problem with impairment of contracts," he said.
Earl Smeal, the district's assistant manager of capital projects, said that most of the work will occur behind Niagara Falls High School, where the fields will be within two-thirds of a mile of the river.
Other work behind LaSalle Preparatory School will be less than 500 feet from the river, Smeal said. All of this is within the Greenway's formal boundaries.
Smeal said the sports facilities will be available to private groups when the school teams aren't using them, so the project will clearly bring people outdoors, a Greenway goal.
"Many people might want to limit that to hiking and biking uses, but I propose to you that there are many people who use the outdoors for other purposes," Smeal said.
Mark R. Laurrie, Niagara Falls deputy school superintendent, said work is to begin this summer on the new 1,700-seat football stadium and track. The baseball field and field house also are part of the first phase.
Two existing softball diamonds and Nicoletti Field, home for junior varsity and modified football and city youth football leagues, will get new turf. They and the six new tennis courts are to open next spring, said John L. Forcucci, the school's athletic director.
Three practice fields for soccer and lacrosse will open in the fall of 2015. Two existing softball diamonds and youth football fields behind LaSalle Prep will be get new turf, too.
